After 22 years of marital bliss. Bruce and Kris Jenner have officially separated. This afternoon, the couple released a joint statement to E!:

But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority.

For the past year, there have been rumors that the couple are having marital challenges. Earlier this year, Khloe Kardashian, told Jay Leno:

They’re not having problems, but they still like to live apart, which is definitely different. You know, Bruce and my mom, they wanted some… In my house there is a man room for [Lamar Odom]. A room, not a different house. So I think they took my idea and ran with it. They got another house and Bruce stays there sometimes.”

Viewers of their popular show, Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s, have also witnessed potential signs leading to divorce court.

No statements from the Kardashian clan have yet been released. The couple have to two children together, Kendall and Kylie, and each have four kids from previous marriages. *****UPDATED*****According to the Associated Press, no divorce papers have been filed and Bruce will continue to appear on the family’s reality show. The admission explains why on recent episodes, Bruce Jenner moved out to his own beach house, saying he needed more space. Since Bruce Jenner moved out, he’s still featured on the series often. Kris Jenner has taped scenes at his new home, as have the other Kardashian kids. The couple has granted an exclusive about their separation to US Weekly, where they talk about their break-up. The couple confirmed they’ve split and have been separated for a year. Reportedly, they have no prenup. P.S. Are we surprised or did we see this one coming?

I definetly saw it coming. I am a huge fan of Kris Jenner, however at certain instances she goes a little to far. I mean there is no lower form of disrespect than telling your husband of 22 years yl”you may change your name back to Kardashian, since you get referred to that name more often. Every real man want to know their wife takes pride in his name. Bruce is a legend, but lost his nalls and Kris walls around with them in her pocket. They made the right choice

I’m so in support of Bruce. A couple things happened- I agree with mama mia telling your current husband that you want to wear the name of your dead-ex husband is total disrespect! But come on we, all know Kris is money hungry- and she’s pimped the Kim ride for so long she gone blind. She only wanted to change her name bc it’s Kim’s last name, she moved Kim and her baby daddy and her child into Bruce’s home without talking with him first!!! is she crazy! She made Bruce feel like a step-child- which opened the door for him to be closer to his son’s. Who appear to clearly see how dogged their dad is, which boosts Bruce’s confidence. All that lead to separation. I hope Kris learns her lesson, but the only thing that will teach her is if Kim goes completely IN with Kanye, he manages her career and she leaves Kris- NOW THAT will open Kris’s eyes and send her back to her husband.

I’m team Bruce, I don’t like Kris she is money hungry, hell I’m still trying to find out why they are in the media so much and who really cares about what their doing, I don’t even like Kim she got famous over a flick not hollywood material. I like Kendall, Kylie, and Khloe, and Kourtnei’s but Kim she’s too much love the spotlight that’s going to be here downfall and Kim please loose the blonde not a good look
